Taking the Mystery Out of SAN and NAS Convergence: Implementing a Hitachi Data Systems Converged SAN and NAS Architecture for Global Information-Centric Computing
Category: Storage
Tags: sans, computing, server, management
Overview As organizations seek to centralize management of all storage resources in line with an information-centric model of computing, the convergence of Storage Area Network (SAN) and Network Attached Storage (NAS) architectures makes them an obvious target for consolidation. Understanding this convergence is crucial to future storage deployment and investment decisions. However, with hundreds of white papers written by server, storage, and networking vendors, and an abundance of different architectures, form factors, and emulation alternatives, there is a lot of confusion about SAN and NAS convergence. This paper proposes a logical framework for understanding convergence, and discusses the business benefits of the flexible alternatives available with a converged SAN and NAS architecture from Hitachi Data Systems.
